Home of a mother, wife, writer

It’s the end of the month, so it’s time to look back at how I’ve done for the month, then look forward to my goals for next month.

Outlining:

Protecting the Heart – Outline– Done

Rylan & Kirsten – Outline– Done

Drafting:

Protecting the Heart – get to 8000 words– 7571 words

Ready When You Are – get to 25000 words– 21374 words

Rylan & Kirsten – get to 12000 words– 11371 words. Also came up with title: Paint Me a Picture

Love Who You Love – get to 56000 words– 71130 words – you can maybe see why I didn’t quite reach the target for the other projects.

By the Gun – get to 26000 words– 21293 words

Come Back Down – get to 28000 words(or finish 1st draft)– 25855 words

Only hit 1 of these goals, but I did write 73,008 words in total. That’s definitely a success.

Editing:

Stained by Ashes – finish CP edits & find beta readers(if you’re interested, let me know in the comments. I’m hoping to have it ready by the end of next week.)– got this sent to beta readers & even back from one of them. Leaving it to sit until I get it back from the other one.

Healing the Heart – apply CP edits– I got through all the comments in the document, but there are some more general ones I need to address.

Reading:

Listen to at least 2 audiobooks– listened to 6. A couple were shorter(Shame on Me), while a couple were quite a bit longer(Queen of Shadows). I’m more than halfway through Map of Fates, but I probably won’t finish it until at least tomorrow.

Read: 29 books– 24 books. I’ll probably finish at least one more today, but still a little short.

Read: Write Great Fiction: Description & Setting– Finished this. Didn’t get as much from it as I’d hoped.
